Your learning style profile shows that you have multiple learning style preferences; in that case you fall in the majority group and that’s really good! You can learn by reading, hearing, and doing things. A mix of variety of teaching methods will work best for you, so you will enjoy listening to lectures as much as you will enjoy role playing activities and field trips. You look at the information and learn it with the mode you think is best suited to that situation. You have broad interests which may include music, dramatics, sports, or/and academics. You can switch from one learning mode to another as per the demand of the situation. You try to align yourself to the interests of significant others. As a student with multiple preferences, you may get bored if a teacher used just one method of teaching.
